Why Study Paul’s Epistles?
As women who want to be used of God and be ambassadors (II Cor. 5:20) it is profoundly wise to understand the importance to rightly divide the Word (II Tim. 2:15) and know about Paul’s distinctive apostleship to the Gentiles. “For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles,...

Calvinists are Wrong about Matthew 18
My prayer for all Calvinists is that they come into the knowledge of the truth and understand the Word rightly divided (2 Tim. 2:15), that they recognize Paul as their apostle today, and quit perverting verses in the Gospels to be all about them when they aren’t. Make no mistake. Matthew 18 has nothing whatsoever... Continue Reading →
